Bretty good.

I don't know what passes as affordable here but I set $16,000 as my budget while doing this.

>affordable

These are around $11,000 to $18,000 used in my area. Jags aren't particularly hard to service if you know how to work with them.

isn't the 351 in those broncos a 5.8 not a 5.7?

It's 5.75 liters. I just rounded it to 5.7. I don't actually know if Ford calls it a 5.7 or a 5.8.

You couldn't possibly have put together a bigger list of fail, 0/10 go back to school.

I think they call it a 5.8

Wanted room for an Escort in there but they were already pretty shitty by the 90s.

Earlier would've been easier I think. Cortinas, Capris, etc.

206s are made of paper, but it's what came to mind first.

Also if you put anything other than a fiesta somewhere in the 2010s you are an idiot.

That gen of fiesta was so good even the Americans finally got them. Then immediately lost them because no-one bought them

Im glad someone besides me appreciates the egg. Probably the best modern civic there is.

>Veloster

Ronquinho de esportivo ele tem.

It's a shame the Americans never got that car either.

They got some shitty dreary American market Civic cos lol Americans won't buy it if its a hatchback.

I swear that thing has another dimension inside it, unbelievable how spacious it is. Murica is really missing out.

Our eight gen wasn't horrible and had a bit in common with the JDM Sedan's the coupe was the major outlier but even it wasn't horrible. I kind of want that generation of Si honestly.

That said I do wish we got the hatch, but like you said most burgers hate hatchbacks which is a shame as one of the few who like them.

Why do Americans hate hatchbacks so much? Is it just cos space isn't a premium so you can afford to have a longer car for the same size boot?

I have a sedan in Europe, and I do prefer the styling and like that it's not connected to the cabin (winter will be nicer than in a hatch). But I am moving house in a few weeks and man will I miss the practicality. Won't be able to move all my stuff in one go or get to anything not immediately at the back without unpacking everything.

I honestly have no idea, I think it's styleing mostly but look how popular crossovers and SUV's are here and then that falls apart. Even the popular hatch backs here (Focus for instance) the Sedan's outsell them by a bit, the only real exception, lately, I've seen to this is the Fiesta, where I hardly see any of the Sedans.

It's not that there isn't a market, it's just that it's small, and most hatch buyers here tend to gravitate Golf.

>Even the popular hatch backs here (Focus for instance) the Sedan's outsell them by a bit

Which is what I find bizarre because the sedan Focus is fucking hideous.

They're like unicorns in the UK. Real hard to find. For good reason.

Yeah I know. I don't get it either but it's what they like for whatever reason take a friend of mine who bought a Sedan two years back, he prefers it's style to the hatch though he's regreting it now, mostly because I think he regrets not getting an ST, and a used one at that since he's young and is basically now stuck as at his job for a year or two more at the least. I digress that's not the point, I don't get it either, but it seems most of my countrymen prefer sedan's in terms of styling on average for most cars for whatever reason.
